If questing in a group, designate one person to test out yaks. Everyone gets credit, even if one person is testing the harness on them to find the good one.

Edit: Down voting correct information is the stuff of Thottbot. If you're questing in a group, it makes no sense to have to find more yaks than you need too. This is time saving. Group up with a friend (if you have any) or a guildmate and try it. The only reason this should be getting down voted is if it's no longer working or true. I personally tried this and the healer in my party didn't interact with a single yak, yet got credit when I interacted with the 10th one and got credit for the quest.

Do the quest in one go. If you wander off for too long or log off, you have to start at the mean yak all over again.

Comment by Balgair

You can run away to reset the yak, which saves on a lot of time spent killing - it'll still move on to the next step in the chain even if you don't actually kill it. (You can also just keep lassoing the same yak this way!)

This looks looks to me like Blizzard is parodying the mechanics of their own game Diablo. In this game you have elite mobs that can gain powers taken from a random pool of abilities such as 'extra strong' , 'fast' , 'multiple shot', 'ligthtining enchanted' and so forth.

So this quest doesnt lead to anything? I just completed it and there wasnt anything more, no follow up, not even a reward.

Druids can cast Flight Form at the end of the lasso cast and fly up, immediately breaking combat.

DON'T DELETE THE REWARD :D

Edit: The reward is now hotfixed QQ

I forget if it's the mean or angry yak, but one of them has a knockback ability. Some of the fields are right along a ledge overlooking the sea. Don't be like me and lasso one right by the edge only to get knocked all the way down! Otherwise, you truly will have a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day!

Any yak that has the word "smelly" in the description will fart on you. Beware.

After reading all the comments, it's clear that there's no reason to do this quest except as part of the initiation process to a fraternity you're better off not joining. I know, you masochists are about to take issue with this so it's all yours. You're welcome.
